Sorry that I have been MIA lately but between work hours, the twins, and my new grand baby in the hospital, (being diagnosed with meningitis) Thanks to the good Lord and the talent he gave the doctors is being treated and getting better. Crafting has been non existing the last few weeks. Hope with in the next few weeks to get some things going on my blog. Like trying my hand at videos.

But please be sure to join the DT over at Just A Scrappin' this week for the Glitter & Shine challenge and a chance to win the blog candy at the end of the month.

We have some fun blog candy for you from Just a Scrappin'. Plus many of the DT have their own candy to give away also.
All you have to do to be eligible for the candy you need to leave a comment on each DT members blog including Just a Scrappin. Also please leave you contact information in case you are the lucky winner.

Here is the layout I made for the hop.

It is about my love of softball. I played for 28 years and watch my girls for 16 years and coached for all those 16 years. I love the game. It is so fun. Now that I am quite a bit older and my knees will not allow me to play or coach; I love to craft about it.

I use some items I had on hand. I added the wooden balls on each corner. Added sticker in the middle of each one. The mats for the photos are 4x6 with the corners rounded. The back round printed paper was cut off 1/2 inch all the way around. Added some cute softball buttons.
Used a bit of doodling on the photo mats. Distressed the edges with Stampin' Up Close to Coco ink.

I am the last stop on the hop and the DT Coordinator. This the first hop for many of us and we all hope that you liked our projects and the you will come back to join our DT challenges each week and try out to win a chance to win some great candy given away at each month.

Here is my card for the Just A Scrappin' blog challenge. The challenge this week is "The Luck of the Irish" in honor of St. Patrick's Day (March 17). Create a card or layout using a banner element and the color green. You may use any additional colors or cartridge of your choice.

I made my banner with three different stamps. One is a shamrock, the other says Happy St. Patricks Day and the third has Mar. 17th on it. They are strung on a piece of wire that I curled and flatten on the page. I use gold embossing powder for all the stamped images. Added a ribbon and a button. The shamrock paper is from recollection and the others are from my stash. My card is a 4 5/8 x 6 3/4 card.

Hey crafters let get some great cards in our challenge this time. Anyone who adds a project to Mr. Linky and leaves a comment tell us that you seen about the challenge on my blog I will send you some homemade wiggle wires. I hope that you all have me busy making wiggle wires.

This is the first challenge for the Just a Scrappin DT. I hope that you all join us for this challenge.

The challenge is to make a card using a cut out or frame. Here is an example:

For my card I made a card with a frame.

I cut the frame out with a 1 inch border around it. I used paper from DCWV. The butterfly is from some stickers that was in my stash. Then added some foe stitching in black around the outside, white around the middle and to show the butterfly flying. The flowers on the corners are beads with pearls glued in the centers. There is black pearls on each corner. Then I sprayed with purple glimmer mist and with some glitter mist that I made. The thank you is some bubble letter stickers from my stash.

This is the inside of the card that is glimmer misted also. Then added another sticker.

Keep an eye out I will be doing a HOW TO section every couple of weeks for the DT. Next week I will be sharing how I make my own Pop dots so be sure to check it out.

So jump on over to Just a Scrappin" and link your challenge card up to Mr. Linky. I can not wait to see what you create.

I have been making stick pins to add to my cards. I made 36 of them to send to a swap I was in with CDAC. So I made a card using one of the other pins that I made. So here it is.

This is an A2 card that I rounded off the corners. The envelope is from Doodlecharm cartridge and cut at 2.80 inches. I added the lips instead of a heart it is on a wiggle wire. The lips were cut at 1.75 inches from the India Art cartridge. The tag for my sentiment is from the Essential Accent cartridge and cut at 1.75 inches. I added a knot of tulle with a button and added a pin with a heart and some crystals. My card has two sentiments on it. One is Happy Valentine's Day and on the envelope and it says Sealed with a Kiss. Both are from Pink Designs. For a bit of bling I added three rhinestones on the top.

I have been busy yesterday and today working on cards. I got 14 cards done. I made this card to use in the Love To Crop challenge. The challenge is to make a project using a wiggle wire. What is a wiggle wire? Amy did a great tutorial on how to made and use a wiggle wire. I choice not to rob my ink pens but I made my own. A few years ago my hubby both me a thing called a wild wire it roll your wire into springs. It make all different types and sizes. It work great for this.

Here is my card:

It is an A2 card. I took a piece of red card stock and cut it 3x5 and took several scraps and tore them and inked them and adhere to the red card stock. I cut the heart from Doodlecharm Cartridge at 2.50 inches and layered it. Added it on a purple wiggle wire and stamped it with a stamp from Pink Designs. Added some twine and a sticker that is a shaker.

Hope that you like it. Still looking for 6 more followers. I have some blog candy to give to one of my lucky followers when I hit 100 followers. So send a buddy over.

I got this digi from Ho-Ch Kreative I colored her with gel pens and coloring pencils. I use a blender pen on the pens and it makes the lines disappear and look like markers. I added some gold ribbon and pearls. I use my bigshot to emboss the paper with flowers. The sentiment is a digi I got from Paper Dreams of Mine. Thanks to these ladies for the digis. You make my love of crafts that much better.
I have more things tomorrow. Need to get pics taken.

Hi all My Crafty Friends,
As you will see I have been busy lately. I made these for a friend of mine who owes a Balloon and Flower Shop. I made a total of 60 of them to hand out to her costumers and friends.

I started out with a 4x6 piece of paper and put them together. Crimped the top and bottoms, then added candy treats to the inside.

I stamped and colored images from stamps in mine and my nieces collection made heart on the gypsy from the Doodle Charm Cartridge at 1 1/2inches and Scalloped ones at 2inches.

I added ribbon to the sides, underneath, and around the containers. Each one is different.

I am getting close to 100 follower so I think it is time for a blog candy giveaway. When I reach 100 I will be giving away some blog candy. I will be getting the things together and get a pic on here in a couple of days. So all I need is 7 more followers. So let your friends know and leave a comment on this post and you will be eligible for a chance at the candy. Hope I hit it some. Thanks to all my friends and followers.

I know that I'm way ahead but my card stash is getting low and we have a craft show in March so I I am getting busy. I was down to 1 so here are a couple more to add to it.

I used the same bird from 3 Birds on Parade. I cut him at 3 1/2 inches. Added some blue ribbon across. Then made the sentiment. The first I took and stamp each word one at a time added some brown pearl that I just got from Pizzazz Aplenty. Added some doodling on my bird and sentiment. On the second card I stamped the sentiment as it came in the package and added a baseball sticker.

I am trying to become a member for the Pink Cricut DT. I have been working on a few items and want to share them with you.

To start with is this scrapbook page.
I used the cricuit to make the two fishing poles the one on the right I added a string and made a hook out of wire. Then all so cut out the gone fishing at the top.
The rest were some stickers that I got at Walmart.
I inked all the edges of the pages with SU night of navy.

This is a card that I made using the Cricuit to cut the lips. Add a ribbon and a bow some pearls at the top.
I used Pink by Design stamps to stamp the sentiment. I Love U sealed with a kiss.

I made these two different style of Valentine's treat boxes. They are both made with the 6x6 pieces of cardstock. Folded them added brads to hold the handles and keep the boxes together. Then added some ribbon and cut the tag with the Slice and stamped with the Pink by Design stamp " a sweet something". The smaller box I cut the scallop heart and heart with the Slice and added a stamp sentiment... Took and cut up some paper and ran through the crimper placed in box and added some candy.

I made the flower on this card using my Martha Stewart scoreboard. I took a piece of paper 1 1/2 inch x 12 inch. Then scored every 1/4 in. Folded and put together added a button and string. Set off the side with 3 pearls and the sentiment. All the edges are inked with SU chocolate chip ink. I added a orange piece of cotton ribbon under the flower.

Hope you all enjoy my projects and wish me luck. Even if I don't get picked I had a great time making these.
